The previous government worked on division in such a way that even minds were separated and a huge gap of bitterness was created between States. But let us come out of it and dedicate ourselves to create a great Telangana by imbibing the formula of India's development through the development of Telangana and the unity and integrity of the entire country.

India is proud of the culture, dance, music, history, costumes and food of Telangana. There are many such pilgrimages which are the center of attraction for the whole of India.
